There are many rituals that help children ease into sleep, and young animals are no different. Each of the seven spreads in this board book features a beloved animal getting ready for bed, with fun rhymes explaining what they do. The baby birds want to hear lots of lullabies, the lamb wants to cuddle and snuggle, and the calf needs lots of goodnight kisses from its mama. And afterwards, it isn't hard to fall asleep at all.
